70% of those infected with Kung Flu wore masks, followed CDC guidelines.

[Kondor3]

...You have absolutely no idea at all what the percentage is, if any. For all you know, the masks could make the disease MORE transmissable. You are making up that 50 to 90% nonsense. No one has any idea at all. Just as no one has any idea what the R number is: how many people catch it from each infected person, on average. We can't know, because so many people have the coronavirus but show no symptoms.

Oh, goodie... you're another one of those prize-winning Mask Denier A$$hat$, aren't you?

Look, $hit-for-brains... they're not called "N95" masks for nothing, eh? ( as in: blocks 95% of droplets and spores ).

Here... let's arrange for the Mayo Clinic to educate your sorry a$$:

There is no "oops". What the study showed was that eating indoors at restaurants exposed them to COVID. Taking the mask OFF to eat. Wear the stupid mask. It's not forever.

Why don't you mind your own business? Serious question. Why do you think you have a right to order people to do things? It's not a good sign about one's character that they want to run everyone's lives. The best people mind their own business and --- dare I say it --- respect diversity. You don't.

 

[Kondor3]

...Listen to yourself, you are afraid of a common disease, you are afraid of people who don't wear masks. I am NOT afraid of a one-world government or communism or socialism. I enjoy the "republic" that I live in and if you are intent on attempting to make me live under your choice of government, be advised, you better be more committed to yours than I am to mine because better people than you have attempted to usurp my rights. Unfortunately they paid the price of failure. Are you that committed?

Oh, look, Mommy... another phone Internet Tough Guy... pi$$ing and moaning about Lost Rights... all that teenage angst over wearing a mask...

I wan against many health problems and I'm sure I avoid much more health problems. One day I will perhaps lose - but this day is still not here.

You can avoid viruses. They are not living organisms

Not really. They are only inactive. They use another body for to live.

they are proteins with a fat layer and are only microns in size. The best way is to wash your hands with soap and hot water this melts the fat layer the same way soap and water melts the fat layer on your hands and cleans them. 70% alcohol also melts that layer and renders the virus 'dead' or unable to infect.

Helps in case of the viruis Sars-CoV-2. Whethe this helps in case of all virusses I don't know-

Masks are generally not enough of a barrier

"not enough barrier" means masks are a barrier

as they can let viruses through easily. Masks do stop droplets that may contain virus however the chances of you coming in contact with another person's sputum is miniscule compared with touching something containing the virus, getting it on your hands and transferring it to your face via dawning your mask. There is a pathogen, disease, accident etc. that, in the end, will find one's weak spot and sicken or possibly kill them.

So because a mask is a barrier - what you are able to see easily if it is cold and you see your breath with and without mask - you don't like to use it because it is not "good enough".

Life is hard and dangerous.

Your life is hard and dangerous? Wil someone laugh who will study your life and know what's hard and dangerous?

Hiding behind and mask or in your basement does not challenge your immune system so it can fight of that which you cannot see, feel or touch.

You think it is a good idea to challenge an immune system? What if you over-challenge it?

Nobody ever claimed they protected you, dickhead! They prevent assholes who are asymptomatic from spreading it! My God, you are ******* thick!

So all these super smart Sheeple who wear a mask all the time and follow CDC guidelines hang out with people who don't wear masks. Doesn't make sense, but then you never do.

I don't hang out with people who don't wear masks! That's why I have not died of COVID yet much less had a cold or the flu. When I see someone like that, I spin on my heels and evacuate the area.

You really are stretching now to defend your beliefs which have been proved to be a lie, Suck it up, dickhead! You are wrong!

Explain how 70% of those infected who wear masks and follow CDC guidelines are getting infected. This time try brining a link or something to back up your bullshit, Assflap.

They took their masks off to eat indoors at restaurants. You'd know that if you read the actual report. Posts misrepresent CDC study examining mask use

The September report, which examines the behavior of coronavirus patients before their diagnosis, revealed that those who tested positive were twice as likely to have dined at a restaurant. Rather than share key findings from the study, posts online incorrectly suggested that wearing masks makes you more likely to contract the coronavirus and that not wearing one would keep you from catching it.​

That was for all of them, not just the mask wearers. So, if they all caught it at restaurants the infection rate would be about the same.

Oops!

There is no "oops". What the study showed was that eating indoors at restaurants exposed them to COVID. Taking the mask OFF to eat. Wear the stupid mask. It's not forever.

You wear it or stay in your basement. I am not afraid of your over-hyped virus.

Yes, I wear it...to protect others. That's what patriotic Americans do. Selfish, self centered, anti American, anti humanitarian pricks do not. Which category do you fall in? Pretty easy to suss that out...

Your right to walk around mask-free ends with your ability to infect me-and-mine.

In a public health emergency the Gubmint gets to force you to do all KINDS of related stuff in the interest of public health in a pandemic.

Now... $hut the phukk up... stop your babyish whining and crying... and put on a phukking mask.

I know, anything to get rid of your "Orange Man Bad" even if it means making a population suffer is what you 'trust.'

Yes, they actually are. A handful of cranks from the "satan is in your vaccines" camp do not equal credible.

By your standard, we shouldn't care if people with HIV screw without a condom. That's cool with you I guess?

 

[366h34d]

C'mon, guys, all covid-19 protocol (masks, social distancing .... ) will not reduce covid-19 transmission rate to zero. However, it will help a lot. IMHO, masks are similar to +/- in hockey. The damn dems make it sound like analytics in baseball.

The problem is that a mask may 'help' one contract the virus as well.

I trust the medical profession. You trust trump

It is same as rubber glove. The virus attached on the front of your mask. If you take your mask wrong, you can get it from that.

Tell me again how we have to wear masks......

Face masks not 100% effective at preventing spread of COVID-19 - CDC | The Jerusalem Post

It is impossible to evaluate exactly where someone contracted the virus.

www.jpost.com

Please, do not wear a mask! Get out there and mingle closely, hugging and kissing with your like minded brethren. It's good for you!!!

ps - But, please, keep your sorry ass away from the rest of us! Bigly!!!

Thanks, I will. You go out and get that vaccine right away as well. We'll see who pisses on whos grave.

 

[Rye Catcher]

Yeah, masks just don't work. It's training to get us all to obey, obey, obey whatever the leftists tell us to do. Quite severe training this year: not just wear face coverings like burkas and hajibs, but can't make a living, can't run a business, can't eat out, have to stand on chalk lines at grocery stores, can't visit relatives, can't have Thanksgiving or Christmas, can't send kids to school ------- are you trained yet?

I do hope this is sarcasm ^^^

Nope, if you haven't noticed we've lost alllllllllllll our freedoms this year, probably you're a leftist and don't want anyone to be free. For everyone to do what you want.

Go ahead and make a fool of yourself talking through a cloth covering your face; just don't tell other people what to do, that's the secret to being a good person. Ordering everyone around? Not so good.

You're full of shit! Your first sentence is stupid, your second is also stupid and a damn lie.

You go ahead and mock the wearing of a mask, make sure to go to bars and restaurants where the owners violate common sense and continue to operate. The learning on this message board is enlightening, the number of truly stupid people has amazed me.

But you dont have harsh words for Gavin the liar and hypocrite. Why?

My daughter had an outbreak at her place of work. 6 out of the 15 people in her work pod tested positive. She said it was no surprise who got the virus. It was the people mocking her wearing her mask everywhere, and following all of the guidelines. Now that her quarantine period is over, she's getting all of the double shifts she wants.

Quite frankly, I don't care what the politicians say or do, I listen to the scientists and follow their advice as much as possible. So if the politicians are going out and doing stupid shit, and holding parties, I don't give a rat's ass. I'm going to stay home and wait for my vaccine date to arrive. It won't be long.

And even after I get the vaccine, I will still be wearing a mask and social distancing, until we achieve herd immunity.

I'm all for your having the right to do just that. And good luck to you: I hope the vaccine thing goes well and protects you and doesn't cause any side effects. If people in your daughter's "work pod" (language has gotten very strange lately) were mocking her, I think they needed to be brought up very sharply. I wouldn't put up with that.

We should each do what we think best for ourselves and mind our own damn business and not be busybodies about what other people do. No obnoxious control-control-control behavior. That is 173% leftwing behavior because they WANT everyone controlled like in Stalin's Russia or East Germany with their secret police reporting on everybody all the time. I don't think they'd like it as much as they think they would.

Your reasoning is not only stupid, but it proves you are anti social. Go **** yourself, and leave space between you and other people, at least those who use common sense and empathy of those who are rational, something sickos like you don't have.

Seriously, I think some of these governors are running for prez on the basis of their East Germany-type lockdowns and new laws. I KNOW the governor of Maryland is, Hogan, not that he'll go far: this guy is supposed to be a Republican?? He thinks any Republican in this otherwise deep-blue state is going to support him or give him one thin dime? Ha. But incredible as it seems to me, that Newsom guy in California is being talked up as a prez possibility on the basis of (well, looks, first) his draconian lockdowns and laws against anyone making a living. And of course Cuomo --- that's why his enemies are bringing out the sex scandal stuff so fast.

"Never let a crisis go to waste." I don't know which of Reagan's 11 rules for Republicans that one is --- has to be at least No. 4. (I am aware that Rahm Emmanuel said it, but the politics rules are party-free. Like No. 1, never be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.)

Your reasoning is not only stupid, but it proves you are anti social.

You think being sociable means controlling people and ordering everyone to do whatever idiocy you want them to? Darn. I'm not sure everyone would agree with you on that! What about people who don't want to do just what you tell them to? Do you think they are all antisocial?

BS, what I do is absolutely NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. People who stick their noses in other people's business usually end up losing their sense of smell. If you are afraid of your own shadow, stay in your basement and only come out at night--if then. I will enjoy the sunlight. As for your BS HIV analogy, I say again MYOFB! People wearing condoms is NOT your business unless you are one of the two people involved. You really have a nose problem--you should keep it on your face and out of other people's business.

Sorry Zangy, half of what you wrote is unintelligible. But here is what I can decipher.

You: "Not really. They are only inactive. They use another body for to live."
If viruses need a host to be active then they are not alive.

You: "not enough barrier" means masks are a barrier"
Yes, they are a barrier but not to a micron sized virus they are definitely a barrier to proper respiration.

"You" "You know nothing about my life."
I know you hide behind a mask thinking it is a 'barrier'

You: Your life is hard and dangerous? Are you sure?
Everyone's life is hard and dangerous to some degree or the other. Deny that at your own peril.
